I Lived Through the Day You Left This World

I lived through the day you left this world.

The worst day of my life. And I survived it.

I don’t know how. But I did.

I was there. I watched it happen. I felt my world collapse in real time.

And somehow, I’m still here.

People say, “I can’t imagine what you’re going through.” But the truth is, I couldn’t have imagined it either. Not before it happened.

I couldn’t have imagined what it feels like to watch someone you love slip away. To hold their hand. To say goodbye knowing they might not hear you.
